NATIONAL STRATEGY for the DEVELOPMENT of STATISTICS

NSDS

and Donor’s Initiatives:a Broad picture


A broad picture

• NSDS

• International initiatives and alignment

• Time perspective

• A personal point of view


NSDS


2 underlying principles

1. Managing for development results:statistics contribute to the development agenda

2. Total quality management:achieve results for all stakeholders (development outcomes, users satisfaction, staff satisfaction, national statistical system performances)


Strategic Mgt for statistics

A long term view is compulsory– Development programmes cycles spread over

several years (i.e PRSP, MDG)– Some operations are reproduced every few years– Assure comparability over long periods of time– Engineering and reengineering often require more

than a year – Administrative processes take their time– Cannot do everything at once, need for prioritizing


A National Strategy for the Development of Statistics

• A coherent set of interdependent decisions• made by national authorities,• about what will be achieved over the next 5 to 6

years,• so that better statistics and better analysis of

them are made available,• responding to priority needs of national and

international decision makers as well as those of the civil society

An NSDS is country and time specific


Why having an NSDS

• The statistical system might have to be reconstructed (fragile states, post-conflict)

• Poverty reduction strategy and MDG reports demonstrate the urgent need for enhancing production of national statistics

• To make sure that statistics will deliver for the 2010 and 2015 MDGs rendezvous

• Or simply because the actual strategy needs to be reviewed

International initiative and alignement


Some international initiativesincluding:

UNDP: MDGs and indicatorsUNICEF: MICS/DHS

DevInfo UNFPA/UNSD: Population, TA, etc censusesWB: CWIQ ICP MAPSIMF: GDDS/SDDSWHO: Health Metrics NetworkBi & Multi laterals CB and TA programmesPARIS21 LRE (Africa)and MORE

All AIMING at IMPOVING RESPOND to NEEDS for STATISTICAL OUTPUTS


WB Funding

• Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Building• STATCAP• Development Grant Facility

– NSDS (PARIS21)– 2010 census round (UNSD/ UNFPA)– IHSN (WB, PARIS21)– Accelerated data programme in pilot countries– Urban indicators (UN-Habitat)– Education statistics (UNESCO Institute)


A Global Statistical System made of

• National statistical systems and advisory committees• ISI & National Associations of Statisticians• Multilateral institutions stat departments• Multilateral Central Banks stat departments • AFRISTAT• Regional Development Banks stat departments• Forums, Conferences, regional commissions of heads of NSOs• ABSA• UN System, IMF and WB stat departments,• CCSA• UN Statistical Commission• PARIS21 ConsortiumWhat about the OVERALL GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS?


Donors Alignment: Paris Declaration

• A SWAP approach to Effectiveness of Aid to statistics development

OWNERSHIP Partner countries exercise effective leadership over their

statistics development policies, and national strategies for the development of statistic (SNDS) and co-ordinate development actions for statistics (PARIS21 like)

ALIGNMENT Donors base their overall support on partner countries’

(NSDS), statistical institutions and procedures (Stat. Act)


Donors alignment : ctn’d

HARMONISATION Donors’ actions supporting statistics are more

harmonised, transparent and collectively effective (Global partnership PARIS21)

MANAGING FOR RESULTS Managing resources for statistics and improving

decision-making about statistics for results for all statistics stakeholders (Development Agenda)

MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY Donors and partners are accountable for

development of national statistic results (Global statistical system)


Linking NSDS and initiatives• MDG are about development outcomes, products• PRSP support is about development outcomes, user

satisfaction, development resources• GDDS is about products, user satisfaction, processes,

governance • HMN is about : health statistics as a sector component of

the NSDS• MAPS is about: products, development resources• Round of population census : product, development

resources• PARIS21 is about alignment, knowledge, development

resources• And so on

2010 2015 and development agenda ?


How to synchronise support to statistics development?

• NSDS implementation period• PRSP implementation period• MDG reporting for 2010 2015• Various censuses and surveys programmes• ACP 10th EDF (2008-2013)• UNDAF, CCA, CAS, programming cycle• NEPAD• RRSF• ICP-NSDS• AFRISTAT : 2006-2010 strategic programme

…….


2007 Rendezvous to further discuss

• January: Kigali, Symposium• February: Hanoi, RT3 Development Agenda• Mars: New York, Statistical Commission, CCSA• April: Addis, CODI and FASDEV• June: Addis, ABSA• June: Istanbul, OECD Forum, statistics

knowledge and policy• August: Lisbon, ISI conference• ???


A personal point of view


What about a Global Strategy for the Development of Statistics?

• There are global development issues:MDG, Sustainable development and a global agenda

• There is a Global Statistical System• Statistics outputs are not yet up to the challenge• Developing countries need development resources,

mainly finances and technical assistance, on a much larger scale and for many years to come

• There is a need for improved aid effectiveness and for an holistic approach to statistics development worldwide

My proposal : design a GSDS 2008 - 2015
